THE SECRET BY MORINDA MONTGOMERY

SynopsisWhat do you get when you arrange a marriage between fire and ice? Morgan’s world is turned upside down when she is forced into an engagement to Brian DeMacleo. Brian is an infuriating, overbearing, conceited, arrogant bastard who does nothing but treat her like a child. Not only does Brian have to deal with his...condition... but now he has to deal with the lovely Morgan. Or rather, the not so lovely as personality goes.

The woman does nothing but argue and try to irritate him. At least they can find some common ground in that neither of them wish to get married. They will get out of the marriage no matter what it takes. But can they keep their secrets as the moons cycle continues?

Summary:
The fathers of Brian and Morgan have decided, among themselves, that their children were perfect for each other and that an union was needed. So, the more the couple struggle to overcome this forced situation, the faster the troubles force them to get closer. But are they really so incompatible?

Reactions:
A historical and paranormal romance with a very nice pair of characters who are constantly searching themselves for lice in the head.

For much of the novel, the reader follows Morgan and Brian, whose fathers have decided to unite. Neither one of them want this union to be celebrated and they are constantly trying to find ways to discourage their wacky family.

A funny and charming story enhanced by a secondary footprint ful of magic, werewolves and premonitions that are pretty nicely narrated. The more we advance in the Two heroes's story, the more we are the witness of the adage that opposites attract themselves and that Brian and Morgan are made ​​for each other. Although the author is abusing some of the phenomenon of repetition which creates lengths, the rendering still remains useful and agreable.

Special mention to Morgan that defies acceptable codes for women of this period... She is swapping her skirts for pants, drinks, swears and becomes a skillful hunter on full moon nights. A female figure colorful, endearing and fun!

Nice novel.
